    Hey Dawn!

    Thanks for the comment on my blog (www.ladaisi.blogspot.com) - I must say you've posted the most helpful blog advice I've received since beginning. I copied it all and pasted it on to a sticky note so I'd make sure I wouldn't forget anything! This may be a ridiculous question at this point - but how do I go about linking up to other blogs?

    I am now following your Family And Relationship blog as well as your Home and Living blog - I love them both! You have so much useful advice and tips! This post in particular - I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, just finished college but in-between grad school and jobs. So I've been going a little nutty. ;) But I love having the opportunity to spend so much time with my kiddo.

    Can't wait to keep reading!

    - Lauren

Discipline for your Children

Dawn Gagnon Photography ©2023  If you come from a certain time period, you may well remember what "discipline" meant in your family. It typically meant corporal punishment which could involve the hand, a belt, or a switch from a tree outside. Parents from that time operated on the belief that you mustn't spoil the child by sparing the rod. While considered abuse by today's standards, it was a different time, and no one truly knows for sure whether those tactics were effective in a positive way or not. It really depends on who you ask.  We can agree that the old way of discipline may be an extreme measure, and it was, however has the pendulum swung too far in the other direction? Children today see very little consequence for their actions, and often come from single parent homes. There are a lot of studies showing the damning long term effects of single parent homes.
